What influenced your decision to join this program?

In joining the MSA transitions program, I was looking for a way build a future career that suited my current goals. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to take all my previous life and work experience and pivot with this program.

What advice would you give to a prospective student considering a graduate degree at Isenberg?

My advice would be to apply, start studying, ask questions, and work hard. The faculty are happy to help and want you to succeed. It is important to build connections and work as a team. You are the captain of your ship charting a new course, but the professors, advisors, and career counselors at UMass are the crew that have all the tools to help you along on your journey.
